Mixed messages: modulation of inflammation and immune responses by prostaglandins and thromboxanes.
Virtually every organism has evolved mechanisms by which, upon stimulation, lipids are released from plasma membranes and metabolized into mediators capable of changing cellular physiology.

Exosomes are bioactive vesicles released from multivesicular bodies (MVB) by intact cells and participate in intercellular signaling. We investigated the presence of lipid-related proteins and bioactive lipids in RBL-2H3 exosomes.

Aspirin inhibits the acute venodilator response to furosemide in patients with chronic heart failure [PDF]
OBJECTIVES: We sought to determine the effect of aspirin on the venodilator effect of furosemide in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) BACKGROUND: Furosemide has an acute venodilator effect preceding its diuretic action, which is blocked

Prostaglandins for preventing postpartum haemorrhage.
BACKGROUND Prostaglandins have mainly been used for postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) when other measures fail. Misoprostol, a new and inexpensive prostaglandin E1 analogue, has been suggested as an alternative for routine management of the third stage of ...

Amyloid proteotoxicity initiates an inflammatory response blocked by cannabinoids. [PDF]
The beta amyloid (Aβ) and other aggregating proteins in the brain increase with age and are frequently found within neurons. The mechanistic relationship between intracellular amyloid, aging and neurodegeneration is not, however, well understood.

Prostaglandins and anti-prostaglandins in pathogenesis and treatment of primary dysmenorrhea [PDF]
The article deals with modern theories of the pathogenesis of dysmenorrhea. A special place is given to prostaglandin, an anti-prostaglandin theory. As a therapy for dysmenorrhea, the group of prostaglandin-synthetase inhibitors is considered in detail ...

Prostaglandins act as mediators of inflammation and, similar to cytokines, function as immune modulators during innate and adaptive immune responses. Therefore, using a pharmacological inhibitor, celecoxib, we investigated the role of prostaglandins in ...

NaCl transport stimulates prostaglandin release in cultured renal epithelial (MDCK) cells [PDF]
Prostaglandins (PGs) can modulate a variety of renal functions, including Na+ and Cl- reabsorption. However, it is not known if a direct interdependence exists between PG synthesis and transport activity. The present study was done to find out whether or
